forum novel - discussion and sign-up
#72
nah, I don't think we were stupid or helpless. And as long as you don't let us die I don't care that much.
Well, ramond said that it would be chaotic and here we have it. I was two days away and the city is already destroyed.
So I have to response to some older posts now.
@Evil Sonidow:
Quote:I'm assuming this is the official Forum Novel discussion thread, so I'll post here anyway. I agree that my prologue to the story sucked hard, but I suppose it's fair to say that my entry to the forum novel has a lot more to add than Reaper/Phil's. I'm saying that because when you read them, you'll see that mine completely contradicts his, but I think it's going to add a lot more depth to the story. I wanna know what you guys think.
Quote:It wasn't supposed to be already explained how it was destroyed. It was a cliffhanger.
Well, thats whats a forum novel is about. You can't know what will happen because you don't know what the others will write. So you have to react to it. Noone can write the story he wants to.
So if you want a cliffhanger you should write it in here. Then we know that we shouldn't write a background story.
And I don't think that our psts contradict too much. If we assume that the demons aren't there for long( some unfitting sentences). If they suddenly arrive, its not that much of a contradiction.
I'm saying that because I think that your entry really might give it more depth, but we generally shouldn't change older entries. I just don't want to hear someone saying later that he has a giant entry, but we have to change a minor one for it. That is contradicting the idea of an internet novel.
We could also have had it different, I just wanted to make the story start slowly. Because depth is also about interaction of the characters, which can happen really slowly. Atm we will have very much fighting before we can start to find out what had happened( which still is kind of a cliffhanger) and fighting is mainly boring if its too much. But hey, it wouldn't be interesting if unexpected things wouldn't happen.
Btw: This isn't ment as any kind of offense. Otherwise I would contradict the idea of an internet novel myself :D
Oh and if the demons where there for long, it would also kinda contradict the backstory( unless you call a demonic invasion "riots")
Btw2: I don't think that it gives the story that much depth if we had archers in it. But I am also not that experienved with forum novels.

Sorry if this discussion already had somehow ended, but I had to say something to that and I couldn't do before.
